Congratulations to Boston, New York City, and the rest of New England! You survived, though not without difficulties in many places, and the clean up goes on.

A real life love poem. For Valentine’s Day. For love. For a wedding. For my wedding. For my beautiful wife. From almost 24 years ago. She’s still the best. Happy Valentine’s Day, sweetie! The best thing I ever did. How could we have ever known? How Could We Have Ever Known? How […]

A Thousand Dreams: A Love Poem I have seen the spectrum of rainbows cross the sky, showing every color to discerning eye. I have touched the endless waves of seas upon the shore– a hypnotizing rhythm always changing yet the same as it ever was before. I have smelled the […]

To the first time marathoners . . . For those who are running their first marathon, there is nothing else like it . . . well, almost nothing.

June 17 is Father’s Day. Happy Father’s Day to my dad, and to all fathers! Enjoy it! My dad has always been very good at fixing things—windows, cars, bicycles, etc. I am not, and never have been. Here’s a poem to honor his “fix-ability.” My Father Can Fix Anything My father can fix anything. […]

One more graduation poem for a daughter: All That Is Beautiful. Congratulations, Class of 2012! All that is beautiful, you take it all in: stars in the heavens; sweet morning dew. Life is to live—not lose or win— and no one loves life as much as you. See the world with your own eyes; there […]

Today I am running “Your Guiding Star,” another graduation poem to honor 2012 high school and college grads. Congratulations, Graduates!

Fix it, please! […]

It’s Graduation Season!

Congratulations to graduates at every level!
Grade school. High School. College. Graduate Schools.
It's another step to move your life forward!
Enjoy it! You've earned that!
And keep on learning! More than ever, our world needs students who are committed to learning.
And remember: sometimes it's not what you know that's important. Sometimes it's what you don't know, and continuous learning helps you to keep learning that lesson.
Even more important: It's what you don't know that you don't know! That means that you will never know everything, but you need to recognize that there are things you need to learn and know, even if you don't know what they are yet!
Good luck to all graduates! Be perpetual learners! We need you!

A Note About Selection Boxes When Purchasing an Item

Read the instructions on pages where multiple product choices are present. Then go to the Selection Boxes. If you have any difficulties with the Selection Boxes, click the "Clear Selection" button until all boxes are cleared (you may have to click it more than once), and then enter all your choices again.

If you put an item into the shopping cart and then change your mind, click the red X, and when the "Return to Shop" button appears, click the arrow that takes you to "The Shop." Click through and then return back to your page by clicking the Photo related to your choice, or go through the main navigation menu. This is necessary to clear the shopping cart and the selection boxes. I will try to find out if there is a fix for this, but for now the above should work. If not, contact me.

For downloadable items, make selection(s) then follow Shopping Cart to PayPal. After paying, you will receive instructions on how to download your item(s).
